I have done this with two PCI network interfaces on a Sun Ultra
workstation, by modifying the udev rules to take the hardware path into
account. One funny thing about these Sun machines is that all Sun
network interfaces (HME) have the same MAC address (the openfirmware has
an option to disable this feature, but that would have been less fun).
So I guess it is possible with USB devices too.

If you insist I will boot this station and retrieve what I did exactly.
